You use a TRS cable from the DVP3 in to one of the expression inputs on the back of the KPA. Guitar cable goes from the guitar into the input on the front of KPA. See, as Ingolf said, no tone suck, as there's no audio going through the DVP3 (it's functioning as an expression pedal, controlling volume in the KPA. Volume can be set up to work at different stages of the signal chain. Read the manual for specifics).

Cheers,

Thanks Sam I thought so but I wanted to know if it was possible this way with single trs. Sounds like I can even control where in the signal chain.. Everyone on this forum is always helpful even when noons ask silly questions in wrong forums

I should clarify my thoughts better.. Is there a way to use a trs cable with a dvp3 and kemper as a volume pedal ? Sorry to hijack a review thread.

thanks lokasenna

I would be interested in reports on two things here.. The dvp3 seems like it has a nice sweep and feel. I like the passive idea as well. Can anyone comment if they perceive any tone suck .. How is it connected to KPA? I am still using uno 4 kemper and would likely use straight from guitar to KPA. How else could I use trs as to avoid tone suck ?

I'm curious how these mini pedals feel and the sweep range.. Please report back

Hi ! I love this rig , sounds so cool on my gear and most of my guitars.

I'm having hard time to guess what's "Head strung" reference.

BTW new namins conventions are a pain in the ass !! but they are actually funny.

I agree

Really like the idea of passive if they will work since the fcb is running phantom 1 cable already it would be much simpler

If you know how to solder guitar pickups and that kind of thing, it's easy as hell.

Inside the FCB, the pedals are attached to a tiny circuit board with an optical sensor, and then three wires run from there back to the main board. If you cut the wires off from the tiny board, you can solder them to the tip/ring/sleeve of a stereo 1/4" jack¹, mount the jack on the FCB², and then plug in your own pedals³.

1 Sadly I don't remember which wire goes to which part. It's easy enough to try the different combinations, and you won't break the FCB. It will either work properly, not boot up at all, or the pedal will work backwards.

² I removed the board that holds the FCB's external footswitch jacks, since they're useless with the Uno4Kemper chip, and put my pedal jacks in the existing holes.

³ I have Mission Engineering's EP and SP pedals, and they're perfect for this, but I think most pedals should work just fine. Just remember to do the FCB's pedal calibration with them.

Considering doing a version of this mod but a few questions I'm hoping you can help with..
Will passive pedals like DVP3 work this way without actual audio signal going through ? Seems the mission pedals come both ways? Ideally I would like to do this in a manner that allows me to upgrade to remote later and still use these pedals and put back fcb. So,I would like to mount to the fcb.. Any pics with pedal tops removed ?reccomendations between mission Anne dvp for these specific purpose .

i would love to see the kemper be able to switch from one delay ie a heavy dotted 8th to another more standard analogue in one press. This could apply to reverb as well. As many signals have at least a basic delay and or reverb. It would be great if they could be layered in the dedicated slots with option to toggle or on off with button press.. This also solves some of the lack of slots and multi delay. Currently if using a heavy delay or reverb you must create an entire new rig to change only this or turn off to a completely dry signal

I think it would be nice of kemper to unlock the looper via midi with a definitive officially unsupported clause. I'm confident the folks at uno f kemper could offer a new chipset supporting this as they have done with beat scanner..., this would be a mutually beneficial arrangement with a small company who was the almost the only game in town for dedicated foot control supporting kemper... Uno4kemper sells more chips. All are happy. I would like to own a remote some day but not going to happen or not based on looper... Based on cash vs the Need.. I can buy a chip for looper integration vs seperate though.

Seems we have a means to accomplish this now. As hell g has pointed out. Perhaps a feature request should be added to simplify this.

The main outs are not independently adjustable volume wise but you could have monitor out and xlr to foh and adjust volume on the fly from mute.. you would have to use stereo xlr for monitor purposes though or get back from foh.... IF you insist on a seperated channel

why not ? I would think your rig would be different for the resonator anyway, but if not create a different rig with the settings you like and the volume for THE RIG adjusted to match other volumes.. perhaps I dont fully understand what you want to do?

I disagree. V30 and vintage sound as if more clarity and note separation to me.. Both were different but difficult to pick one

Very nicely done. Congrats

Thanks for the additional GAS......

im curious if any big sky owners out there using it with the kemper and controlling it via midi ? Anyone using fcb and uno 4 kemper ? Anyone know how this could be incorporated ? Currently only have a blue sky which I love but no midi. If I sold it and acquired big sky. I'm wondering if I could set it up to turn on loop and say go to a favorite on big sky via uno 4 kemper with one of stomps

tntent - Wow! Such an innovative approach to curing the FCB1010's ills.
Although I'm handy enough to tackle this, sad to say I probably won't being implementing this due to the following:
1) The Remote now being in distribution mode
2) The additional advantages of better expression pedal options/feel over the standard FCB1010 pedals
3) All the other seamless features the Remote will bring

Still... it's the best Behringer mod I've seen to date. Bravo on such a great find an your innovation.

thanks for the kind words. The biggest thing left in comparison to the remote is your #2 although I find mine is not that bad with the update to the taper adjustment. Also analogue pedal incorporation would be great but I'm not sure how well the remote will do this either..
i thought by the time I buy the remote, two pedals for expression, a board to put them together of some sort plus an easy transport method and case, I'm in for a lot more $ than the uno4kemper...
maybe one day...

Hey guys,

I have been reading a lot in the forum the past months, so I finally like to say hello to everyone around! Especially, since I guess I'll be staying with the Kemper quite a while...

I have been a die-hard tube fan over the past years - the birth of my son and neighbors "forced" me into new territory. I was giving the Kemper a chance and promised to myself: If there will be a single compromise, if there is a hint of a "wannabe tube-sound, but fairly the real thing" I will return the 'ugly computer' immediately...

Well, what can I say - the Kemper is still there, after a couple of months!!!

Yes, it is and stays ugly and I still do like the sound and feel of my Marshall Top over the Mesa 2x12. But the Kemper is my to-go-tool for recording tracks in great quality simply by connection of 1 single cable to my DAW. And it's getting better and better with updates and more and more great profiles around.

A new chapter opened, and the sound-journey continues...

Btw: great forum - thanks for all the valuable info!
Cheers!

im with you.... Thing is I can buy about 40 professional studio made amps I may have never never even played otherwise for what I would have spent on some decent quality tubes..... That's not even getting into the whole NOS nostalgia..

Ingolf , since this has become like a navigating your kemper for dummies(me) tutorial .. Would you care to explain how to do this ? It's not getting into my thick head. How would I make such a preset without an amp or in other words an entire rig ?
